the following officers were elected:
Village Council-C. p. Maginnis
President, II. 8. JudsOn, c. Winter
mute, II. Whiteley and Thomas
Thomasson; Treasurer. w. J. Munro;
Assessor, D. T. Wheaton. These men,
we believe, will carefully perform the
duties of their respective offices and

An accident occurred in the TRIB-
UNE office last Thursday morning by
which about one third of the names
upon our mailing machine were lost.
We have replaced them as best we
could, but do not feel certain that we
have the list complete. Ifany names
are still missing, we hope those who
do not receive their accustomed copy
of the TRIBUNE this week will notify
us, so that we can again place their
names upon the list without further
| delay.
